Situating Children of Migrants across Borders and Origins
This open access wide-ranging collation of papers examines a host of issues in studying second-generation immigrants, their life courses, and their relations with older generations. Tightly focused on methodological aspects, both quantitative and qualitative, the volume features the work of authors from numerous countries, from differing disciplines, and approaches. A key addition in a corpus of literature which has until now been restricted to studying the childhood, adolescence and youth of the children of immigrants, the material includes analysis of longitudinal and transnational efforts to address challenges such as defining the population to be studied, and the difficulties of follow-u...

Cities and Crises
Humanitarian crises caused by conflict or natural disasters have become a growing focus of multi-disciplinary studies. Research on response mechanisms to humanitarian crises have likewise undergone rapid developments. This volume addresses in particular urban crises. It is based on conclusions and case studies discussed by scholars and practitioners who gathered together for HumanitarianNet’s Annual Forum 2008 in Odense, Denmark.
Children, Human Rights and Temporary Labour Migration
This book focuses on the neglected yet critical issue of how the global migration of millions of parents as low-waged migrant workers impacts the rights of their children under international human rights law.

Combining social and legal research, it identifies both potential harms to children’s well-being caused by prolonged child-parent separation and State duties to protect this relationship, which is del...
Women, Leisure and the Family in Contemporary Society
The purpose of this book is to highlight new trends in research on women's leisure. Comparisons drawn between countries at different stages of socioeconomic development demonstrate fascinating similarities and also many differences. Women's leisure is still constrained by traditional ideologies and gender relations, but there is evidence that leisure may also provide the opportunity for liberating effects such as empowerment and autonomy. Leisure may thus act as an agent of positive social change. This book has been developed from a multinational study involving fifteen diverse countries and set up within the framework of the Research Commission of the World Leisure and Recreation Association. A wide range of sociocultural experiences are reported in chapters on Australia, Canada, Colombia, France, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Morocco, Spain, the U.S.A. and U.K. Containing many original insights, the book is aimed at advanced students and research workers in leisure studies, women's studies, sociology and related disciplines.
Immigration hors des grands centres
Cet ouvrage s'intéresse aux mobilités migratoires, aux politiques, aux pratiques et aux processus liés à l'immigration en dehors des grands centres, soit des villes moyennes, des communautés minoritaires ou des espaces semi-ruraux qui rencontrent les effets des migrations internationales. Les concepts de régionalisation, communautés linguistiques et culturelles, d'actions locales, de participations citoyennes sont au coeur de ces perspectives.
